Postgame Recap: Sabres 2 Caps 1

 The Cap outshot the Sabres 44-26 and in my opinion played a good game. However, two lucky plays for the Sabres and zero luck for the Caps made Saturday's 2-1 loss the most frustrating of the 2014-2015 season. Well to this point.


Caps/Sabres Highlights:

My Thoughts:

*Matt Niskanen played his best game as a Cap as he was able to score his first goal as a member of the Washington Capitals when he tied the game in the 3rd period.

*Braden Holtby again was good in net and gave the Caps a chance to win, the problem was the Caps didn't give him any run support.

*Jhonas Enroth simply stole the game from the Caps. Maybe the Caps could have had more net presence however Enroth still made 43 saves.

*Andre Burakovsky in my opinion is in a little bit of a rut. He is only 19 but I think Trotz might want to give Evgeny Kuznetsov a chance to play a little more.

*I noticed that Mike Green after he took a hit in the 1st period did not play much in the 2nd, and from my knowledge didn't play in the 3rd. Will have to monitor that this week leading up to their game against the Islanders on Wednesday.

*I was at the game last night and Nick Backstrom is a pleasure to watch. I know Ovechkin is the main guy, but Nick Backstrom is such a great player and is just as important to the Caps as OV.

*The Hershey Bears got a win last night and Chris Brown scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over the Worcester Sharks. Philip Grubauer made 38 saves in a shutout for the Bears who host the St. Johns Ice Caps today.
